Does anyone know any good IR remote app to use on my converted htc one gpe

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] kine42:
personally I like 'Smart IR Remote for HTC One'

its easy to connect whatever devices you desire, set-top boxes, cable boxes, dvd/blue-ray players, home theater systems. if its got an IR sensor this app will probably be able to control it.

then create a remote, you can create as many as you want. can be setup for just 1 dedicated device, or you can make like universal remotes. which control multible devices. from there, you can place the buttons as you see fit.

and if theres a specific function thats not listed in the device button selection page. you can make custom macro's right in the app and put a macro on whatever button you want (for examle, can have 1 power button macro that would turn on your TV, cable or set-top box, home theater, and blue-ray all with one press)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cannonofcourse:
Smart IR Remote is the best, the guy in last post is absolutly correct. The developer created remotes for me to use in my Tahoe. Panasonic AV that couldn't be found anywhere on earth. Floating remote which is genius and also a plug in for tasker. If u have a problem or suggestions email the developer they will make it or find it or write something for u. U can create your own too. Buy the pro version it will ease your stress level. Having a remote for everything even my truck that doesn't need to switch to WiFi or Bluetooth or whatever.. IR is quite surprising, when my phone rings even driving down the road, everything mutes.

Here is a floating remote I made just to show u. If you care..

I just snagged a 64GB One from Swappa on an impulse buy, should have it within a week. From what I've read, it appears the Sense remote app has a learning function. I'll be flashing CM11, so I was wondering if Smart IR Remote can do that too? If not, do y'all know of any that can? I have some devices that probably won't be in any database.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] kine42:
Im not sure if Smart IR has a learning mode. but i do know the stock sense ir remote that comes with the htc one isnt very good. i tried it for a while and was so happy when i discovered Smart IR Remote. the ONLY downside to SIRR is it may seem overwhelming to new users. but trust me, once you figure out everything, its very very powerful.

what he said ^. the developers are very helpful, and they respond pretty quickly. shoot them an email about a learning function, if there isnt one, im sure they will put it on the list for future updates.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Cheeky_Fink:
Ha, I eat overwhelming for breakfast. 19 hours of college credits this semester with a full time construction job. I usually tend to go for the most complicated/feature heavy apps out there. But I don't think the other phones out there with blasters can also receive signals, at least the One is the only one I've heard of that can. Pretty much the only reason I'd stay with Sense,is for that specific app, and that's really not worth it. I'll definitely email the SIRR dev if they don't have a learning function, because an OS-independent app with that would be amazing. Now how about FM radio? Do you know if Spirit FM is supported on the One?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Datsun.510:
Hello Everyone,

I wanted a faster and better charger for my Nexus 5. After doing some research I came up with the following possibilities:

From Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Tech-Armor-Charger-Watts-Black/dp/B00CD0HGDE

http://www.amazon.com/iXCC-Charger-Charging-Samsung-Package/dp/B00FCISG6K

http://www.amazon.com/EZOPower-Charger-Adapter-Smartphone-Cellphone/dp/B00EDU5X6Y

All these chargers have 2 USB ports, which they are great if you need to charge two devices at once. They will charge 2.1A from one port and 1A from the other. My problem with all these is that they are bulky and two of them have ports that come out of the back. It can be difficult to use if you want to plug your charger lets say behind your bed or similar tight places. That is one of the reasons why I don't like the stock Nexus 5 charger as the USB cable comes out of the back and its only 1.2A

From eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-BlackBe...o-USB-Compatible-Phones-Tablets-/200976069483

This charger is exactly what I'm looking for because its small, the cable comes out of the side, and the output is 1.8A which is greater than the stock Nexus 5 charger. Plus at $3.99 & free shipping for a new charger is not a bad deal. Since this is an OEM Blackberry product the quality is excellent. Cable is around 7ft long.

Bought me two of them, one for the office and one for home.

Will post my results as soon as I receive the charger. Will test how much current the Nexus 5 can pull.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evo_Shift:
Won't phones and batteries only pull the number of amps they are designed to pull? I didn't think it mattered how many amps a charger could proveide as long as it has enough?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Datsun.510:
I had tablets chargers that I would use on my Nexus 4 and the phone would charge a lot faster than the stock charger that came with it. I'll do some testing and will report my conclusion once I receive it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tietherope:
The Galaxy S4 charger works great and really fast.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] james11417:
Meh, the stock charger is 1.2A so that's what I figure the fastest it will charge.

I had an SGS3 and using my dad's Note 2's 2A charger, I was still only drawing out 1A, which is what the SGS3's charger came with.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Vincent Law:
The Nexus 5 comes with a 1.2 amp charger. I HIGHLY doubt it's actually capable of charging any faster than that (it'd be a lot of heat for such a small device).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ru-dmitry:
Charging amperage is specified by the device not the charger. Value on a charger is the maximum amperage it is able to produce. This means that Nexus 4 or 5 will not get more than 1.2A even from a 2A charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cgg123321:
If the phone is designed to charge at 1.2A, it will charge at 1.2A max. HOWEVER, not all chargers are 100% efficient. That means your phone may not charge at a constant 1.2A through the stock charger if it is not 100% efficient. That is why you notice faster charging speeds using a 2A charger.

If you don't believe me, get an app like battery monitor widget and look at the power input when you are charging.

This is what I use: http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Dual-Port-Charger-Samsung-Motorola/dp/B00B8L36A6

Anker is a very good brand
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mobileboost:
My Nexus 5 charges quickly with the charger that it came with. It is 1.2A. I purchased a new car charger that is also 1.2A now. It seems to work well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cgg123321:
I actually just got my nexus 5 today so I can't comment on the included charger. I was talking about my old galaxy note and htc desire. There was a site that reviewed the efficiency of chargers but I forgot the name of the site.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nagle3092:
I use my Nexus 7 charger (2A) and it charges way faster than the stock. They are only $15 on amazon too.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rican408:
My HP chrome book has a charger rated at 3 amps. Charges the phone crazy fast. I remember seeing these threads and how people said it doesn't matter what the output is blah blah blah. It works. I just wonder what effect it has on the battery? I think its supposed to last longer if you charge it slowly correct?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kepapas:
I use nexus 7 charger. Takes around 15 min to fully charge at 70 percent
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sluflyer06:
Everyone is saying "its faster" but nobody has bothered to mention what faster is.

From 15%, I saw 100% charge in just 2 hours with Qi so I think these phones charge fast in general since Qi is only 1 am output.

If we could stick to real #s going forward then this thread would have some value.

First establishing some baselines with stock charger is essential. Also remember only some fuel gauges support actual current measuring and many apps attempt to calculate current by looking at voltage over time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] andrawer:
Thanks...since I left my N5 charger in a hotel (!) I was having trouble finding a replacement 1.2a charger. So gave up that hunt and just got the Nexus 7 charger on Amazon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Vincent Law:
We don't need no stinkin' science in here!

A lot of people just assume their phone is charging faster because they're using a faster charger. Placebo at work.

Folks, if you want to properly determine whether a charger over 1.2 amps is worthwhile you need to do a proper test and remove all the variables:

1. Put the phone in airplane mode and shut down all apps and services. Best if you do this from a clean factory reset so the tests are on equal footing. Any apps using the phone will draw on the battery and influence the test negatively for that charger.

2. Up to 15 minute charging variances are normal. It's a chemical reaction inside of the battery, it's not going to be that consistent.

3. Make sure to charge from the exact same percentage level.

4. REPEAT THE TEST at least 3 times. If the test shows dramatic outliers, perform extra tests and make sure the test is consistent.

Does that sound like a lot of work? Yeah, but it's the only way you can actually make an assertion that one phone charger is faster than another.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rican408:
No. This is exactly what I'm talking about. I charge my phone all the time. And the second I used this charger and consistently from then on the phones charges about 1/3 faster. I really don't care what is "supposed" to happen. It just works. I get my charger back on Friday and I will prove it. The battery usage shows a giant spike. Upwards compared to the more gradual spike with the stock charger. My Google edition HTC one used to barely charge while playing games with the stock charger and now it charges as fast as stock when I wasn't even using it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Vincent Law:
The HTC One's stock charger was only 1 amp, not 1.2 amps. It was clearly capable of charging faster, this phone not so much.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rican408:
I was actually using the 1.2a charger from my nexus 4 as the "stock" charger. For the same reason, I know more is better.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spadeace9:
lg g2 charger works really well for me
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Datsun.510:
I'm getting my 1.8A charger today. I will do some test and will report back. Also will do a factory reset and install no apps other than battery monitoring apps.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Datsun.510:
Okay guys.

Got the new charger and did a some testing. If I didn't do something correct, let me know and I'll retest it.

Testing condition: Did a factory reset on SlimKat Rom. Only app installed was Battery Monitor then rebooted phone and started the test.

Chargers tested: My new 1.8A and a 1A chargers. Sorry I didn't test the Nexus 5 charger which is 1.2A cause I haven't opened it yet.

All test were done as photos states.

Conclusion: The Nexus 5 can and did charge beyond the 1.2A stock charger limit, the highest charging rate was 1571. It also seems like it regulates how many amps it wants to use. I did read somewhere that once the phone reaches 75% it reduces the charging flow. Maybe that's why you see the charging go from 1500 to 1000 at that battery percentage. My next test is wait until my phone is at 10% or so and recharge with 1.8A charger again.

So for everyone that said the phone will not charge more than 1.2A, I'm going to have to call that false.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] noodles2k:
The battery charging current can be up to 2300 mA. As long as the charger is powerful enough and the firmware allows it.

You're getting 1571 mA max because the phone is using some of the power and the charger output may be slightly lower than claimed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Datsun.510:
Okay waited until the battery was at 9% to see how the phone will charge with the 1.8A charger. As you can see from the photo, the phone charged at 1500 or higher from 9% to 75%, then it lowers the input to 1000 and less all the way up to 100%. Having full brightness on, screen kept awake, wifi on, and sync on made the phone heat up until 106. After I turned off wifi, sync, and the screen, the phone dropped the temperature to the 90's and even the 80's degrees.

Conclusion:

A higher rated charger DOES charge the phone faster. 9% to 100% in 91 minutes. The phone did heat up more, but that was because of the screen on with full brightness, wifi on, and sync on. Will the battery last less with a faster charger? I dont think so, because the battery after reaching 75% it reduces the input so it doesn't over charge the battery.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Datsun.510:
I agree. I was trying to show the others that said the phone will not charge faster than 1.2A.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kindrich:
I have been charging the N5 using the charger and cable I got from the HTC One S. I'd like to keep the charger and cable that came with the N5 untouched to increase its resale value. I figured HTC is also a reputable OEM so their chargers should be dependable. I didn't know its amperage (1.0A) is lower than the N5's charger (1.2A). Is there any harm in using the HTC One S' charger aside from perhaps slower charging time?

Frankly I've never noticed how fast or slow my phone charges up as I only need to charge it overnight. Plug it in before falling asleep and wake up with the battery always full.

Just curious, would the 10W charger of the iPad charge my phone any faster?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] guitarizt:
I've been using this from Amazon ($10.99): RAVPower® RP-UC05 Dual USB Travel Wall Charger (15.5W/ 3.1A, Swivel Plug)

When playing Plants Vs. Zombies 2, I notice that the stock charger still drains the battery while plugged in. The one I bought off Amazon can charge the phone or at least make it discharge much slower. I could be more scientific with the testing, but it's not a big deal to me either way and it looks like my anecdotal experiences are inline with the results posted here.

There are other chargers that put out more amps, but this one was $3+ cheaper and I don't need the extra power at all indoors. Even the 0.7 amp charger I have works fine for everything but PvsZ 2.

I was going to buy another wall charger first since a lot of them have 4.5+ stars on Amazon, but if you search the reviews there are scattered reports of certain chargers heating up and even catching fire. The charger I got didn't seem to have that problem from the reviews, and it's always stayed pretty cool so far.

Chargers

Hello Folks,

Having had the N7 which was my first Nexus device that didn't have a to bad of a recharge to use time. The N10 is a complete beast to charge. Now that I have my N5. It's doesn't take long a all to charge.

Outside of the stock chargers that can with each of these wonderful devices. I had and still use my Vizio VTAB 1008 2 amp charger for all of my devices for a quick charge. It's large and doesn't warm up like many of the stock ones due to the 2 amp output. But my favorite device to charge is my Motorola Bluetooth stereo headset since I do not like to use my wired headphones sometimes.

My dominate use is playing music, though I have yet to decide on a cell carrier but use an app to make free calls with. My current data usage provision is via my Verizon 4G LTE MiFi with a data allowance of 5G. For $20 USD I could add 3G Verizon call capability. But then people can just message me to call them since my app is setup to only make calls and not to receive. Benefit of that is I will never get calls from unkown people. :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rmkbow:
any good wall chargers for a decent price in Canada? I tried buying some 2A chargers on ebay but they ended up being ~500mah instead

The one linked to ebay ends up being ~20$ to Canada :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mr. Sprinkles:
Thread got me curious. I wanted some solid numbers so I wired a microUSB cable up to an old power supply and ran it through my multimeter. This setup is capable of delivering close to 10A.

Result: despite my battery being at a fairly low 43%, the phone only drew around 960mA while asleep and around 990mA awake.

After looking through the schematics, I found this behavior is thanks to the Texas Instruments BQ24192 power management unit inside. It's capable of delivering a much higher current, but was configured by LG to cap out at 1200mA (and for good reason, I'm sure).

So there you go. This phone will never draw more than 1200mA, it doesn't even seem to like to draw more than 1000mA. If a higher amperage adapter feels much faster to anyone, it's either the placebo effect or perhaps your stock charger was faulty.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] guitarizt:
I appreciate the work put into the test, but since it goes against all of our observations so far I think something might be wrong with your test and/or cable, or there's something else going on with the phone I don't know about. I just played Plants Vs. Zombies for about 60 minutes, and on the stock charger with stock usb cable it discharged to 88%. I played for a bit longer and it went down to 86%. I then plugged my phone into the charger I got off Amazon I referenced in my first post of the thread with the same stock usb cable, and it started charging it fairly quickly while I was still playing the game. I played for about 20 more minutes and it got to 95%.

I don't really know why or what's going on that would cause this, but I think you'd be able to narrow it down.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] guitarizt:
I found my Kill A Watt. The RAVPower charger was at .12 amps and 7.9 watts. The Nexus 5 charger was .10 amps and 7.6 watts. I made sure to switch them really fast after giving them a few seconds to normalize because I noticed that they both start using slightly less power as the battery gets more full.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rican408:
So I've finally done my test with my hp11 charger rated at 3a. The phone charges at a rate of 1.4% per minute.

My Nokia dt900 wireless charger actually did pretty good considering 1. Its rated at 750ma and 2. Its wireless. It charged at about .8% per minute.

I don't really care about what voltage it delivers. As other have noticed it charges FASTER. that's our point here. It is not a placebo effect.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Citizen Android:
Nexus 5 Maximum Charging Rate?

Have you seen Anand Tech's testing of the Nexus 5 battery ( anandtech.com/show/7517/google-nexus-5-review/3 )?

Their review says that the Nexus 5 TI BQ24192 should be able to charge at a maximum rate of 1500mA. But they also show in their test using the stock 1.2A charger that it only actually charged at around 1A. But this still leaves open the suggestion that 2A chargers that correctly negotiate AC mode with Nexus 5 would charge at higher than 1200mA up to maximum of 1500mA.

I've also seen varied reports on forums from people trying to use 2A chargers -- where some only get slow USB mode and some get fast AC mode. I wonder if that is causing the differences described in this forum. For those who are using chargers faster than 1.2A that correctly negotiate AC mode with the Nexus 5, they are getting charging up to 1500ma. For those who are using chargers that are not able to negotiate AC mode and get USB mode, they are getting very slow rate of charge?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jaxidian:
This kind of setup won't work. In order to get over ~1A charging (based on your results, I'm assuming that number is 1A - I don't remember off-hand myself), USB charging standards require a negotiation process to step up to higher currents. It's not just a case of supply and draw but there's also a communication aspect. What you are doing is essentially how Apple products do this - they forego this negotiation step, violate standards, and just bump up to the higher currents. Most (all?) Android devices won't do this. This is why you'll *very often* find chargers that report that they charge at 2-2.1A yet Android devices never charge any faster than lower-powered chargers. Also, often, kernel developers will have a "Fast Charge Toggle" built into their kernels. This toggle effectively allows Android devices to automatically step up to the higher current levels without honoring the negotiation standards. I assume Apple users can also see their devices not charge faster with Android's 2A chargers because they honor the negotiation requirements and Apple products don't play game with these standards.

(I might have a few things mixed up here, it's been a while since I dug deeply in the standards. My apologies if there's a little bit of misinformation in here but the general idea is sound - to charge at higher currents require a negotiation process that a hard-wired power supply won't provide.)

Some pieces of info to read up on:

Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 (Snapdragon 800 has this)

USB Power Delivery standards
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mr. Sprinkles:
The N5 doesn't make use of the charging portion of the 800, so no Quick Charge. It instead uses the TI chip I mentioned. There isn't really any negotiating that goes on, it simply checks to see if the adapter is capable of more than .5A by checking if the PSEL pin goes low. LG accomplishes this with the official charger by shorting d+ to d-, so that's what I did with my setup.

Apple products don't follow BC spec, but it's similar. They just use higher voltages on the d+/- lines to identify charger class.

The D821 service manual indicates 1.2A as the charge rate, so that's why I assumed the chip was set to 1.2A by LG. I shouldn't have stated that so matter of factly though. I may have misunderstood it, or it could be a misprint (it also states charge time is 3.5 hours, which is obviously not correct). So, it may very well be at the default 1.5A. That might not matter though because looking at the TI datasheet again, I noticed input current and charging current are independently set. The default charge current is 1.024A, which is suspiciously close to what we've seen in real life. If LG left it at this default, it would certainly explain why both I and the Anandtech writer saw the N5 hang around 1A while charging.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] treehugger38294:
I don't know what the max amperage is but I can tell you this. My Nexus 5 charges extremely quickly from my Galaxy Note 2 Charger. The charger is rated at 2 Amps. For reference purposes, my Nexus 5 went from 20% to 85% in 1 hour and 7 minutes.
